Product description

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' sixth studio album, "The Good Son," marks a significant shift in the band's discography, released on April 17, 1990, via Mute Records. Following the darker tones of their previous albums "Your Funeral...My Trial" and "Tender Prey," this record offers a lighter and more uplifting sound, showcasing Nick Cave's evolving musical vision. Recorded in Brazil's Carden Studios, the album features a blend of piano, strings, and Cave's signature vocals, creating a unique and captivating atmosphere.

"The Good Son" spans nine tracks, each offering a glimpse into Cave's lyrical prowess and the band's musical versatility. The album opens with "Foi Na Cruz," setting the stage for a journey through introspective and evocative songs like "The Weeping Song" and "The Witness Song." The title track, "The Good Son," is a standout, featuring Cave's haunting vocals and a memorable melody that has resonated with fans for decades. The album also includes "Sorrow's Child" and "The Ship Song," both of which highlight the band's ability to craft poignant and memorable compositions.

The album's production is notable for its use of traditional instruments and a more stripped-down approach, allowing the songs to breathe and the lyrics to take center stage. Nick Cave's piano playing is a prominent feature, adding a layer of depth and intimacy to the recordings. The album's cover art, designed by Designland, complements the music with its stark and evocative imagery.

"The Good Son" is a testament to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' ability to evolve and experiment within their musical landscape. It's a record that stands out in their discography for its unique sound and lyrical depth, making it a favorite among fans and critics alike. Whether you're a long-time fan of the band or a newcomer to their music, "The Good Son" offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.

This LP was released in 1990.

  • Missing Seven Inch

    5 out of 5 stars
    Qpovso30December 20, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    When I purchased mine in '90, there wasn't a complimentary 7" included.

  • Initial Pressings Flawed

    5 out of 5 stars
    qijheyyJuly 27, 2025United KingdomπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

    Amazing album, though the initial pressings with the 7-inch had a off-center pressing causing a lot of wow and flutter. I bought mine back then directly from Our Price without listening first and just got accustomed to the distinctive atmosphere, now when I listen to the tracks without it, it feels like something's amiss.

  • Flawless Album Copy

    5 out of 5 stars
    EwxubeviOdsazcJuly 1, 2025United StatesπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    Received a flawless copy, no surface imperfections, perfectly flat, stunning. I'd forgotten how much I adore this album.

  • Cave's Tender Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    Xotupeq_BuoygeJune 23, 2025United KingdomπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

    Nick Cave's most tender and redeeming album at that stage in his career. Moving away from the anguished turmoil of Tender Prey, The Good Son offers a sense of spiritual depth, sorrow, and almost tranquil loveliness. "The Ship Song" and "The Weeping Song" serve as emotional cornerstones β€” controlled yet impactful, intricately composed but never excessive.This original EU limited edition is something special. The vinyl sounds full and dynamic β€” Cave’s vocals are prominent and expressive, while the music flows gracefully throughout. Soft, clear playback β€” outstanding pressing for a 1990 original.And the accompanying 7" bonus single is a genuine gem: acoustic renditions of tracks from Tender Prey. Unpolished, personal, stripped back to their emotional essence. It’s like gazing into a mirror reflecting the past β€” same songs, but with all the clamor and fury stripped away. A brilliant enhancement to a pivotal record. Scarce, and definitely worth possessing.

  • Flat and Quiet Perfection

    5 out of 5 stars

    I'm not sure what others are talking about, my one is completely flat and quiet and sounds amazing!
